Dropped by the @KodanshaManga booth #5542 at #SDCC2023 to see the exhibit of replica pages + original Vinland Saga illustrations that @makotoyukimura created to give to winners of the #VinlandSagaVikingContest. How to enter: https://t.co/C8kV7gfbPakodansha.us/2023/06/08/vin…
I see Tetsuya Chiba (Ashita no Joe), Yoshiyuki Tomino and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko (Mobile Suit Gundam) and maybe Go Nagai (Devilman) ? 
Holy cow, that Kaoru Mori / Bride’s Story at @kyotomm is everything i could have wanted and more. Gorgeous original art and bilingual Japanese *and* ENGLISH descriptions & artist commentary. kyotomm.jp/ee/otoyomegata… 
A neat part of eating at Kyoto Gyukatsu was the option to sear your meat at individual table grills. #osaka gyukatsu-kyotokatsugyu.com
There’s this scene where Go Nagai (Devilman) recalls going to San Diego Comic-Con with Tezuka, going to see The Shining, then later seeing him back at the room, pounding out manga pages. 
@NY_Comic_Con @webtoon @tapas_app @yenpress @izepress The "What's Next for Webtoons" panel will cover trends in webtoon publishing -- what makes it different from manga & comics publishing in N. America + opportunities & challenges of its mobile-first ecosystem for readers, content creators & publishers bit.ly/NYCCWebtoonRT 
@NY_Comic_Con @Darfox8 @MangaMacPodcast @microwaevy @SatNightShoggy @BrigidAlverson @ICV2 @nfntpeeps @libraryladynyc So "how is 'This Manga is Awesome!" different than the Best & Worst Manga panel (that I run at SDCC & the NYCC version that'll be on Thurs organized by @JRLibrarian)? WELL! the categories are VERY different, and slightly sillier! 
Here’s the hallway with what’s still there… it doesnt look like 2 shopping bags of books were removed… 🫣 most of it is stuff i want to keep / series I’m currently reading that cant fit in my library room now 
@Viki Sleepeeer Hit (lousy English title) is based on an 18+ vol manga series “Juhan Shuttai!” by Naoko Matsuda, currently published in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Spirits. You can buy/read the Japanese version via @BOOK_WALKER bookwalker.jp/de3a000b98-838… 
If you approach Rue Dante from the Notre Dame/Shakespeare & Co. direction like I did, your first shop is LaBD2collec at 2 Rue Dante. I could not find a website, but here’s a video of what’s inside 
Here’s a closer look at the huge comics pages at Notre Dame and the creators behind them. First, Adjim Danngar, creator of Mamie Denis & his interviews with the reconstruction crew. See more of his work here: adjimdanngar.wordpress.com 
From the “omg, that’s available in French?” side, here’s a 6-volume collection of the “perfect edition” of Eden: It’s an Endless World by Hiroki Endo - vol 6 came out in january 2022, with the series expected to be completed w/ 9 volumes fr. @PaniniManga panini.fr/shp_fra_fr/blo… 
One interesting part of the Comic-Con @ Home Manga Publisher Roundtable conversation about why long series (like Hajime no Ippo) can be extra challenging to license for publication in English bit.ly/MangaBiz2021 
What the Font?! is kind of part manga, part art history / design book, as it gives faces and personalities to popular typefaces, like Helvetica, Bodoni, Franklin Gothic and yes, even Comic Sans. mangasplaining.com/blog/episode-5… 
Blue Lock starts off as a basic sports manga, with scenes at a high school playoff, but within a few chapters, things take a darker turn... kinda like Prison School or Battle Royale. Your first hint of this is seeing the sketch of the cover on the title page. What's on his neck? 
Here’s @dallasmiddaugh ‘s chart showing the sales growth of manga since 2002. Manga enjoyed “geometric growth” until 2007. Recovery only began again in 2013, partly thanks to Attack on Titan manga/anime 
As far as western adaptations of JP anime/manga content, “no one has cracked the code. But it also depends on your expectations. If you’re expecting a James Cameron-sized blockbuster, that’s a different challenge than if you’re going for smaller production.” - Tony Ishizuka
“When I started in this biz, JP rights holders weren’t interested in markets outside of Japan - at most, int’l licensing was only 5-15% of their revenue. To them it was like sofa change.” -@dallasmiddaugh #ProjectAnime #AX2019
